Podcast #12 Ignore Shiny Objects Summary: There's never been more temptation to take you off course than there is now. Everyone wants a piece of you and you want a piece of the action you see. Unless you want caught in a whirlwind of starting and stopping, pick one thing and complete it. You will feel at peace and fulfilled when you know you are working towards one mission. The worst feeling in the world is starting something then getting pulled in a different direction then starting another thing then getting pulled in another direction. Expertise comes from years of experience at a specific thing. You can be successful at anything but you have to stick with THAT thing. Even if you see someone on social media blasting past you with progress in THEIR life, stick to YOUR life. Be no.1 with what you do, not no. 2 at someone else's.
